Tameside Arts Festival

The Tameside Arts Network intends to organise a Tameside arts festival next year, and would like to get everyone on board at an early stage. We are certainly aware of the problems in putting together Tameside-wide events, but we are very keen to raise the profile of the arts in Tameside, and we think that a 2010 arts festival could be an excellent step along the way. It would be a Tameside Arts Network event, not a council event, although we will have the council's Arts and Events Officer at hand to advise.

We would therefore like to invite you, whatever area of the arts you might be interested in, music, theatre, dance, painting, pottery, writing, etc. to join us for a preliminary shortish planning meeting at the Portland Bistro on Wednesday 1 April, 7-9pm. A light buffet will be provided. Apologies for the short notice!

For more information contact John Miles on j.p.miles@btinternet.com
